Forget the bake sales: Byron Garrett is the PTA’s first male CEO in 100 years
Byron Garrett is the first male CEO of the National Parent-Teacher’s Association in 100 Years. The 35-year-old black is a former principal ? not a parent, though he raised his nephews ? and was appointed by the national board with a unanimous vote. Garrett calls The Takeaway from San Diego, where later this week the PTA will be holding its 112th annual national convention.
